5
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
6
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
8
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
11
and unlock() like so::
15
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
20
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
21
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
23
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
24
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
25
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
27
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
28
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
33
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
34
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
37
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
40
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
41
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
43
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
44
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
45
understanding what changes have occurred
46
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
48
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
49
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
50
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
52
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
53
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
54
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
55
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
59
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
60
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
61
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
62
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
63
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
65
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
66
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
68
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
72
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
73
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
75
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
76
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
78
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
79
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
81
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
82
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
88
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
89
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
90
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
91
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
92
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
94
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
95
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
96
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
98
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
99
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
103
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
104
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
105
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
107
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
108
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
109
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
110
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
116
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
117
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
118
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
119
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
121
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
122
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
123
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
125
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
126
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
128
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
129
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
131
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
132
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
134
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
136
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
138
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
139
it could be recovered again.
140
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
141
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
142
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
144
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
146
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
147
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
151
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
152
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
154
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
155
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
156
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
157
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
159
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
160
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
162
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
163
tests with names that match that regular expression.
164
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
166
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
167
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
168
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
170
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
171
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
172
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
174
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
175
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
178
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
181
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
182
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
183
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
184
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
186
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
189
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
190
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
191
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
194
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
195
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
197
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
198
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
200
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
201
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
202
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
203
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
206
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
207
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
209
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
210
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
212
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
213
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
214
(Robert Collins, #107125).
216
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
217
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
218
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
220
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
221
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
222
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
224
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
225
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
226
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
227
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
229
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
230
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
231
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
232
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
234
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
235
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
236
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
237
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
238
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
239
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
240
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
241
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
247
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
248
code paths. (Robert Collins)
250
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
251
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
252
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
253
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
254
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
256
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
257
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
259
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
260
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
262
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
263
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
265
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
266
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
268
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
269
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
270
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
273
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
274
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
275
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
276
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
277
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
280
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
281
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
282
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
284
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
285
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
288
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
289
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
290
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
293
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
294
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
295
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
296
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
297
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
299
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
300
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
301
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
302
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
304
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
305
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
307
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
308
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
309
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
310
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
311
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
312
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
314
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
315
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
317
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
318
help. (Robert Collins)
320
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
321
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
323
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
324
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
325
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
326
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
329
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
330
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
331
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
332
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
333
useful. (Robert Collins)
335
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
340
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
341
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
343
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
344
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
346
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
347
properly and is no longer beneficial.
348
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
350
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
353
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
354
the file, and does it faster.
355
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
357
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
358
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
359
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
361
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
362
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
363
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
364
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
366
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
367
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
368
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
369
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
371
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
372
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
374
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
375
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
376
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
377
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
380
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
382
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
383
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
385
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
386
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
388
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
389
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
390
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
391
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
395
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
400
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
401
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
402
in running it. (Robert Collins)
404
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
405
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
407
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
408
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
409
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
410
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
411
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
412
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
413
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
414
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
416
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
417
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
418
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
420
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
421
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
422
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
423
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
424
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
426
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
428
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
429
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
430
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
432
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
433
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
440
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
443
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
444
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
447
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
451
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
452
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
457
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
458
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
459
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
460
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
461
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
462
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
463
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
464
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
469
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
470
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
471
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
473
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
474
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
477
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
478
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
481
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
482
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
483
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
484
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
485
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
489
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
492
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
493
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
495
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
496
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
498
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
499
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
500
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
502
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
503
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
505
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
506
last-changed-revision for directories. The
507
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
508
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
509
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
511
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
512
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
513
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
515
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
518
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
520
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
522
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
523
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
524
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
528
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
529
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
531
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
532
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
534
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
536
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
537
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
539
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
540
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
544
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
549
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
550
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
551
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
552
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
554
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
555
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
557
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
558
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
560
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
563
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
564
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
567
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
571
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
572
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
573
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
574
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
575
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
576
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
578
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
579
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
580
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
581
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
582
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
583
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
585
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
587
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
588
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
589
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
590
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
591
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
592
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
593
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
594
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
598
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
599
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
601
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
602
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
603
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
604
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
606
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
607
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
608
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
609
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
610
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
612
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
615
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
618
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
621
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
622
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
625
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
628
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
629
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
631
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
632
directory. (Martin Pool)
634
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
635
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
636
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
637
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
639
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
640
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
641
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
642
in docs/configuration.txt.
644
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
645
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
648
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
649
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
650
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
651
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
652
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
653
repositories. (Martin Pool)
655
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
656
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
658
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
659
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
661
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
666
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
667
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
668
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
669
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
670
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
673
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
674
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
677
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
678
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
681
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
682
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
683
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
684
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
685
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
686
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
688
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
689
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
690
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
692
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
693
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
694
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
695
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
697
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
699
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
700
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
701
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
702
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
704
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
705
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
706
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
707
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
709
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
710
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
711
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
713
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
714
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
715
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
717
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
718
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
719
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
720
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
722
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
723
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
724
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
726
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
727
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
728
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
730
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
731
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
732
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
733
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
734
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
735
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
736
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
737
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
738
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
739
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
740
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
744
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
745
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
746
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
748
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
751
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
752
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
753
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
754
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
756
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
757
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
760
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
761
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
763
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
765
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
766
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
767
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
769
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
770
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
772
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
775
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
778
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
779
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
781
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
783
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
784
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
788
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
789
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
796
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
800
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
801
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
802
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
804
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
805
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
806
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
809
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
813
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
814
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
815
server, then you can write over the http connection.
816
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
818
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
821
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
822
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
823
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
825
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
826
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
828
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
831
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
832
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
833
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
834
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
835
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
836
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
838
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
839
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
840
should enable you to do::
843
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
844
push_location:policy = appendpath
846
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
847
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
850
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
851
for each file. For example::
859
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
860
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
862
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
864
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
865
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
867
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
871
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
872
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
873
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
874
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
876
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
877
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
878
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
880
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
882
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
883
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
884
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
885
(Alexander Belchenko)
887
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
890
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
891
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
893
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
897
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
898
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
900
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
901
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
902
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
903
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
904
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
906
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
907
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
909
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
910
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
912
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
914
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
916
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
917
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
918
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
919
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
920
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
922
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
923
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
924
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
925
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
927
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
928
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
930
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
931
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
933
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
934
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
936
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
937
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
942
No changes from 0.13rc1
944
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
948
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
952
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
953
operations are substantially faster.
954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
956
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
957
tree from some other url. For example:
958
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
961
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
962
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
963
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
964
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
966
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
969
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
970
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
971
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
972
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
973
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
974
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
978
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
979
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
982
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
983
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
986
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
987
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
988
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
991
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
992
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
994
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
995
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
997
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
998
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1003
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1004
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1005
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1007
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1008
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1009
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1010
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1012
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1014
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1015
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1017
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1018
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1019
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1022
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1023
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1024
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1026
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1027
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1028
them as full references rather than integers.
1029
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1031
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1032
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1034
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1036
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1037
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1039
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1040
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1042
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1043
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1044
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1045
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1047
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1048
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1049
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1051
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1052
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1054
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1055
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1056
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1057
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1058
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1062
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1063
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1069
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1070
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1071
(John Arbash Meinel)
1073
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1077
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1078
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1079
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1080
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1082
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1083
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1085
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1087
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1088
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1089
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1090
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1092
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1093
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1094
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1095
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1096
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1098
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1100
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1101
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1105
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1106
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1107
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1109
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1110
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1111
(John Arbash Meinel)
1113
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1114
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1115
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1117
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1118
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1121
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1122
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1123
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1125
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1126
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1127
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1128
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1129
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1130
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1132
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1133
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1134
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1137
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1138
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1142
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1143
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1144
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1147
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1148
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1150
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1151
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1152
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1154
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1155
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1157
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1158
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1159
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1160
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1162
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1163
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1165
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1166
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1167
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1169
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1170
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1172
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1175
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1180
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1181
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1182
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1183
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1185
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1186
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1187
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1191
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1193
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1197
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1199
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1202
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1206
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1207
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1208
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1209
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1210
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1211
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1212
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1214
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1215
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1216
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1218
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1220
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1221
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1223
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1224
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1225
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1228
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1229
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1230
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1231
(John Arbash Meinel)
1233
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1234
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1235
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1236
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1239
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1240
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1241
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1242
(John Arbash Meinel)
1246
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1247
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1249
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1251
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1252
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1253
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1255
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1256
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1258
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1259
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1261
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1264
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1267
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1269
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1270
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1272
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1273
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1275
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1276
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1278
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1279
(John Arbash Meinel)
1281
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1282
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1283
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1285
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1286
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1288
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1289
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1290
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1291
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1293
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1294
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1295
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1297
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1298
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1302
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1306
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1307
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1308
(John Arbash Meinel)
1310
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1311
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1312
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1313
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1315
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1318
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1319
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1320
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1322
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1323
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1325
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1326
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1327
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1329
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1330
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1331
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1332
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1333
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1334
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1335
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1336
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1337
caller to repeat their request.
1338
(John Arbash Meinel)
1340
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1341
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1343
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1344
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1346
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1347
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1348
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1349
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1350
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1351
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1352
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1354
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1355
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1356
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1357
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1358
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1359
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1360
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1361
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1364
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1365
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1366
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1368
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1369
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1371
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1372
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1374
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1375
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1379
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1380
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1382
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1383
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1384
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1386
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1387
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1388
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1393
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1394
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1396
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1397
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1398
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1399
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1400
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1402
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1403
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1404
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1406
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1407
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1409
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1410
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1411
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1415
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1417
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1418
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1419
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1421
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1423
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1425
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1426
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1427
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1428
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1430
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1431
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1432
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1433
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1434
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1436
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1437
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1439
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1440
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1442
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1443
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1445
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1446
in handling of revision properties.
1447
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1449
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1450
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1454
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1455
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1456
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1457
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1458
(John Arbash Meinel)
1460
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1461
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1462
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1464
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1468
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1469
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1470
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1471
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1472
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1473
a more conservative list than the old default.
1474
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1475
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1476
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1477
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1479
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1480
to more locations than just branch locations.
1485
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1486
revno:N:branch. For example,
1487
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1488
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1490
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1491
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1492
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1493
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1494
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1495
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1496
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1497
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1500
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1501
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1502
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1505
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1506
(Alexander Belchenko)
1508
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1510
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1513
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1514
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1515
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1516
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1517
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1518
(John Arbash Meinel)
1520
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1521
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1522
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1523
grained analysis of performance.
1524
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1526
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1527
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1529
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1530
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1531
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1532
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1533
file. (Robert Collins).
1535
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1536
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1537
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1539
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1540
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1543
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1544
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1546
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1547
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1548
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1549
the same way you would apply another branch.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1552
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1553
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1555
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1558
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1561
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1562
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1563
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1565
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1566
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1567
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1569
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1570
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1572
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1573
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1574
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1575
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1576
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1578
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1579
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1581
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1582
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1583
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1584
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1585
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1586
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1587
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1588
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1590
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1591
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1592
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1596
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1598
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1600
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1601
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1603
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1604
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1606
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1607
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1609
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1611
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1612
(John Arbash Meinel)
1614
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1615
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1617
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1618
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1621
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1622
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1624
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1625
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1627
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1628
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1629
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1630
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1632
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1633
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1635
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1637
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1638
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1640
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1642
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1644
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1645
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1647
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1648
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1650
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1651
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1652
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1654
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1655
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1656
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1658
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1659
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1661
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1662
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1664
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1665
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1667
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1668
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1670
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1671
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1673
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1674
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1675
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1677
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1679
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1680
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1684
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1685
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1686
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1688
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1689
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1691
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1692
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1693
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1695
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1696
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1698
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1699
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1702
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1703
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1704
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1706
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1707
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1708
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1710
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1711
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1712
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1714
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1715
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1716
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1718
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1719
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1720
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1722
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1723
instead. (Robert Collins)
1725
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1727
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1731
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1733
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1737
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1738
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1740
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1741
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1743
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1744
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1745
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1749
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1751
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1752
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1754
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1758
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1759
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1760
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1761
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1765
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1766
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1767
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1771
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1772
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1773
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1777
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1778
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1782
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1784
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1785
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1786
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1787
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1788
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1789
will keep the same format.
1791
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1792
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1793
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1794
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1795
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1797
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1798
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1799
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1800
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1801
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1802
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1803
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1805
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1806
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1807
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1808
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1809
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1811
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1812
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1813
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1819
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1820
convention. Paths now take the form::
1822
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1824
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1826
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1827
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1829
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1830
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1831
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1833
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1834
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1835
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1836
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1838
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1839
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1840
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1842
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1844
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1846
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1847
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1850
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1851
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1854
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1856
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1857
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1858
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1861
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1863
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1865
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1868
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1869
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1871
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1872
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1875
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1876
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1879
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1881
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1883
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1884
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1886
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1887
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1888
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1889
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1890
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1891
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1893
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1895
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1896
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1899
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1900
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1902
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1903
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1905
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1907
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1908
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1909
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1910
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1911
specification by Martin Pool.
1912
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1914
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1917
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1918
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1920
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1921
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1922
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1924
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1926
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1927
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1932
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1933
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1935
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1937
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1939
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1942
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1943
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1944
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1945
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1949
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1950
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1951
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1952
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1954
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1955
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1956
tried. (Martin Pool)
1958
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1961
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1963
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1964
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1965
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1967
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1968
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1970
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1971
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1972
paths. (Robert Collins)
1974
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1975
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1976
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1978
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1979
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1980
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1982
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1983
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1984
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1986
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1989
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1992
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1994
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1996
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1997
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1998
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2001
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2002
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2004
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2005
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2006
check. (Robert Collins)
2008
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2009
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2013
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2014
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2016
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2017
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2018
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2019
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2021
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2022
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2023
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2024
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2025
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2027
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2028
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2029
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2031
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2033
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2034
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2040
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2041
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2043
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2044
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2045
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2048
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2049
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2051
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2052
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2053
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2054
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2055
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2057
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2058
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2059
used. (Robert Collins)
2061
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2062
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2065
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2066
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2067
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2069
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2072
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2073
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2077
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2078
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2080
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2082
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2084
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2085
tree. (Robert Collins)
2087
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2088
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2089
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2092
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2095
* Tweaks to short log printing
2097
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2100
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2101
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2103
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2104
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2106
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2107
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2109
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2110
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2111
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2113
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2114
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2116
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2117
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2120
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2121
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2123
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2124
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2126
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2127
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2129
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2132
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2133
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2135
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2136
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2138
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2139
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2140
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2144
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2146
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2148
* Error when run with -OO
2150
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2153
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2155
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2157
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2158
ignored by diff and status
2160
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2161
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2163
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2165
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2167
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2168
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2170
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2171
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2173
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2176
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2177
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2179
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2181
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2182
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2184
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2187
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2188
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2190
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2194
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2195
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2197
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2199
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2201
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2203
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2204
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2205
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2207
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2209
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2210
(John Arbash Meinel)
2212
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2214
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2215
If adding a new test script please add that to
2216
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2218
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2219
imported. (Martin Pool)
2221
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2222
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2223
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2224
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2225
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2228
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2229
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2230
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2232
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2233
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2234
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2236
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2237
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2238
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2239
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2240
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2243
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2244
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2249
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2250
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2252
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2253
function. (Robert Collins)
2255
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2256
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2257
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2259
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2260
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2263
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2264
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2265
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2266
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2267
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2268
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2269
version. (Robert Collins)
2271
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2272
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2274
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2275
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2276
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2277
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2278
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2279
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2281
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2284
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2294
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2296
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2298
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2301
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2302
query method. (Robert Collins)
2304
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2307
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2310
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2313
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2314
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2315
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2316
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2318
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2319
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2320
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2321
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2323
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2324
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2330
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2333
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2337
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2338
a separator, not ':'.
2341
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2342
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2343
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2345
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2346
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2349
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2350
has been added that suppresses all output.
2352
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2355
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2356
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2358
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2359
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2361
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2362
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2364
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2365
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2366
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2367
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2369
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2371
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2372
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2374
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2375
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2377
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2378
output directory, if one was supplied.
2380
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2381
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2382
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2383
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2385
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2387
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2388
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2390
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2391
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2392
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2394
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2395
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2397
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2400
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2402
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2406
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2407
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2408
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2410
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2411
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2412
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2414
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2415
is given. (Martin Pool)
2417
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2418
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2419
file. (Robert Collins)
2421
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2426
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2427
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2428
representation. (Martin Pool).
2430
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2431
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2432
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2434
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2437
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2438
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2441
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2442
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2443
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2444
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2445
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2447
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2448
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2449
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2450
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2451
python path. (Robert Collins)
2453
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2454
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2455
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2456
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2458
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2459
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2461
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2462
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2465
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2466
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2467
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2469
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2470
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2471
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2473
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2474
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2476
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2477
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2478
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2481
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2482
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2483
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2484
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2487
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2490
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2491
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2494
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2495
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2496
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2498
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2499
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2500
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2502
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2503
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2504
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2506
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2507
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2509
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2510
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2511
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2512
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2513
caller. (Robert Collins)
2515
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2516
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2519
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2520
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2523
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2525
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2526
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2530
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2531
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2533
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2534
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2537
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2541
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2542
allow directories to be listed.
2544
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2545
upgrading branch format.
2549
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2556
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2557
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2558
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2559
high-latency connections.
2563
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2566
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2567
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2569
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2570
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2571
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2572
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2574
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2575
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2577
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2578
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2580
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2581
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2582
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2584
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2585
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2586
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2589
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2590
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2592
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2593
different partial views of history.
2595
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2596
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2600
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2601
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2602
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2604
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2605
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2608
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2609
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2611
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2614
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2615
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2617
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2618
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2619
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2620
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2622
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2624
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2625
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2628
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2629
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2631
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2632
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2633
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2638
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2639
for your viewing pleasure.
2641
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2642
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2644
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2645
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2646
handling of such circumstances.
2648
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2649
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2650
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2652
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2654
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2655
we call them revisions not patches.
2657
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2658
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2660
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2661
giving the revision *of that file*.
2663
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2664
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2665
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2669
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2670
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2672
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2673
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2676
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2680
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2682
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2685
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2687
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2689
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2690
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2694
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2695
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2697
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2698
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2699
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2700
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2703
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2704
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2708
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2710
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2711
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2714
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2718
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2719
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2720
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2721
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2724
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2727
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2728
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2729
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2730
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2731
for the operating system is still tried.
2733
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2734
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2735
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2740
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2744
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2746
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2749
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2755
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2757
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2760
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2764
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2765
help with intelligent shell completion.
2767
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2772
* Much better merge support.
2774
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2775
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2781
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2782
mention revisions that are not present.
2784
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2786
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2788
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2789
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2794
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2796
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2797
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2803
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2804
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2809
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2813
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2814
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2816
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2818
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2819
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2821
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2824
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2826
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2829
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2830
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2832
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2833
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2834
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2839
* Faster working tree operations.
2844
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2845
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2846
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2847
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2849
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2850
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2851
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2852
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2853
standard plugins directory.
2855
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2856
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2857
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2858
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2860
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2861
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2863
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2866
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2867
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2868
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2870
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2871
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2873
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2874
line options must come before the command name because they
2875
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2876
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2879
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2881
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2882
is available with ``--short``.
2887
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2890
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2894
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2895
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2897
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2898
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2899
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2900
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2902
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2903
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2904
with the ``--forward`` option.
2906
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2907
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2913
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2914
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2916
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2918
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2919
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2921
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2923
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2924
either read or write mode.
2926
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2928
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2931
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2933
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2934
suggested by LarstiQ.
2936
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2937
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2939
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2942
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2943
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2945
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2946
haven't changed since the previous time.
2948
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2949
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2951
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2953
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2955
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2956
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2958
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2959
options through to an external GNU diff.
2961
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2964
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2970
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2971
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2973
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2979
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2980
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2983
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2984
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2986
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2987
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2989
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2990
under a different version.
2992
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2997
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2999
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3000
Scott James Remnant.
3002
* Better help messages for many commands.
3004
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3005
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3007
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3008
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3010
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3012
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3014
* New AtomicFile class.
3016
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3021
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3022
2.4 is now only recommended.
3025
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3029
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3030
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3032
* More default ignore patterns.
3034
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3035
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3037
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3039
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3042
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3047
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3048
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3049
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3050
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3051
there are DNS problems.
3053
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3058
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3060

3062
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3063
trailing newlines properly.
3068

3071
* More tests in test.sh.
3073
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3074
directory and delete it when done.
3076
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3081
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3084
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3088
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
3092

3095
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3097
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3100
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3103
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3105
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3109
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3110
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3115
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3116
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3121
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
3125

3135
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
3139
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
3141
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
3142
rather than replacing it.
3144
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
3148
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
3151
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
3152
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
3154
* Performance improvements.
3156
* New global --profile option.
3158
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
3159
the root directory only.
3162
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
3166
* More information from info command.
3168
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
3170
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
3171
committing to stores.
3173
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
3177
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
3181

3182
installation easier.
3184
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
